Who needs a big second half of the year?

According to SEN:

Players that need a big second half of the year

Andrew Slevison

Dion Prestia is one of Richmond’s most important players, but has often battled soft tissue injuries. When he is up and running, the Tigers’ midfield is simply so much better than it is without him. He has been in and out this year, but has put together a block of games (aside from Round 8 when he missed with illness) which should hold him in good stead for the back half of the year.

It might be a little unfair, but Dustin Martin also needs to rediscover something near his best if the Tigers are to genuinely contend this year. He has shown glimpses since his return and simply might be saving his best for the second half of the campaign.

Shane Edwards, who is approaching his 300th game, has been below his best of late. He found touch against Essendon in the Dreamtime game and his first half against Sydney last Friday night was outstanding. The Tigers need more of that.

I’d add Dustin Martin to that list too.

Lambert too but I’d cut him some slack with his bung hips.
The club that keeps giving.

Nank has been an absolute beast this season. Just needs to cut out some of the silly free kicks he gives away.

Yeah that's what I'm getting at

Sheds' first two months was ordinary but he has been better the past two weeks.

Soldo and George are the ones that need a rocket. We can't carry players who have no impact while their direct opponents do.
